What about the area behind (not in front) of the rear tires? I know that the XPEL rocker panel kit includes a narrow 2 inch wide strip that goes right behind the rear wheels. Is that coverage sufficient to protect the rear bumper from rock chips? Or do you need extra coverage (i.e., specially cut xpel film).

BTW, I had the rocker panel kit installed on my M3 and asked the installer to cut a larger piece to cover the area in front of the rear wheels. But now I am thinking i should have them to do a special larger piece behind the rear tires.
